This unique symbol possesses a distinct cultural and linguistic significance, particularly in the representation of certain languages that utilize diacritical marks to denote specific phonetic or grammatical features. In its technical context, the character is part of the Unicode standard, which provides a consistent method for encoding, storing, and transmitting text across various platforms and devices, thereby ensuring accurate representation of diverse scripts and symbols from around the world. While U+1EE6 may not be as commonly used in everyday digital communication, it serves an important role in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and historical typographical practices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7910 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1EE6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1EE6 to binary: 00011110 11100110. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100001 10111011 10100110
